Holding a 9-1 record in their last 10 games, the Tampa Bay Rays are looking like a strong play at -1.5 runs (+175) against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Current Form:
The Toronto Blue Jays have captured three wins in their last five games to improve their record to 16-18 after a disastrous start. After blowing out the Minnesota Twins in Games 2 (7-3) and 3 (11-4), Toronto’s Blue Jays could only score three runs out of 11 hits in a 3-4 loss in the series finale. Over the last five games, the Blue Jays have averaged 6.1 runs per game on a .270 BA and pitched a respectable 3.77 ERA.
The Tampa Bay Rays have won three in a row and four of their last five games. Tampa Bay’s pitching has been virtually unhittable during this five-game stretch, posting a 0.80 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. This remarkable dominance from the mound has helped the Rays win games despite averaging 2.5 runs in this spell.
Starting Pitchers: Blue Jays LHP Eric Lauer (1-3, 6.00 ERA) vs. Rays RHP Nick Martinez (2-1, 1.70 ERA).

Our Tampa Bay Rays vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction
Hot Take: The Rays will dominate the Jays at home by stifling their offense. Nick Martinez delivered another stellar showing on the mound after a shutout stint against Cleveland on April 28.
Smart Play: Back the Rays to cover -1.5 runs. The Blue Jays might be steamrolling teams recently with their offense, but the Jays have a fantastic starting pitcher in Martinez (1.70 ERA) and the bullpen (0.49 ERA over the last five games) to tame down their batting. Moreover, Jays projected starter, Eric Lauer, has given up 9 earned runs over his last 7.1 innings against the Rays. He also lost the last two starts against Tampa Bay, which puts a lot of pressure on him to exorcise past demons against this team on Monday.
Our betting prediction for the Toronto Blue Jays vs. the Tampa Bay Rays: The Rays -1.5 runs
